View user and group details

The `get_user` tool fetches a specific user profile by name or ID, ensuring everyone on the team uses consistent data. It's great for onboarding new collaborators. Need to check permissions? Use `get_group`. This MCP Server function lets you validate group membership details across your shared project scope.

Manage video inventory

Team members can use `list_my_videos` to pull a comprehensive list of videos uploaded by the authenticated user. This result gets committed as context, so every developer sees the same truth. For shared content, `search_videos` lets you scope out potential assets for a new feature without leaving the editor.

Handle profile and video updates

If metadata needs fixing across the team, use `update_video`. This tool standardizes how titles or descriptions are changed. It prevents manual errors. To check a user's current status, run `get_me`. It confirms the details of the person running the code, which is key for CI/CD pipelines.
